Meet the All-Stars of Vintage Olympic Posters

All eyes are on the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics this month, so to bring a little sporty spirit into our homes, we're sharing our favourite vintage Olympic posters. While the ancient games bring out the best of the best of athletes, they're also a celebration of the best in design, drawing leading architects, and visual designers from around the world. Needless to say, these vintage originals and reproductions will become talking points wherever you hang them.

Famed American graphic designer Lance Wyman made his mark designing the logo of the 1968 Summer Olympic Games in Mexico City with '60s optical-art typography inspired by traditional forms in Mexican culture. The official poster from the games has a psychedelic, linear style that would make a statement in any modern home. Mexico City 1968 Games Poster, $35, Sports Poster Warehouse
